Eberhart Orchards has raised a fine crop of fruit in 2004. Each kind of apple and pear develops according to its nature, influenced, of course, by climate, soil, slope and exposure. Harvest is always a predictable event. Sooner or later, from late summer to late fall, fruit will be picked. Discovering the optimum moment, however, when each variety is ready to harvest is a matter of testing, watching and waiting, and testing again, followed by a relentless rush to get the fruit off the trees into bins and boxes. At Eberhart Orchards, Bartletts are first to be picked, prior to Labor Day, usually about a week before kids head back to school. Then Bosc and d'Anjou pears are up next, along with the early apple varieties that ripen throughout September, including Galas, Goldens, Red Delicious, and Jonagolds. The last to be picked are the Fujis and Braeburns, in mid to late October. Only after that will the orchards be ready for bed. Harvest of Eberhart Orchards' late season apples and pears, in the Kittitas Valley of Washington State, will continue through October. As of October 1st, we have added Red d'Anjou Pears and many apple varieties into the web-based store, FruitFromWashington.com, including Cameo® Apples, Fuji Apples, Gala Apples, Jonagold Apples, Red Delicious Apples and the strangely named heirloom, Winter Banana Apples, which should remain available to you from October through the month of December. ORCHARD by H. D. I saw the
first pear The honey-seeking
O rough-hewn These fallen
hazel-nuts, "When
does the backyard burn season start?" Cory asked
impatiently. A poetry reading list for a late October gathering might include: "A Child's Nightmare," by Robert Graves; "Goblin Market," by Christina Rossetti; "Limbo," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge; and of course, "The Raven," by Edgar Allan Poe—for it is the "shivery" time of year.

of seasons! Leaves have already turned and those family members who could, took some time off from job and school, for one last road trip of the year to see the colors, not in New England, but would you believe, Glacier National Park? Uncle Bruce and the nephews took a whirlwind weekend tour through the Western states. Glacier was gorgeous but the outstanding event was that they serendipitously attended the dedication of Wallace, Idaho as the Center of the Universe. Ben Logsdon picks up the story from here. ...when we got to Wallace once we had gotten a motel (the Stardust Inn), we walked around town to find somewhere to eat. After eating...we were walking around again... and we see these search lights being set up at this one intersection in town. These are the kind of search lights you see at a fair, or car dealership or something. Anyway, policemen start barricading off a section of the road and seem to be out somewhat in force. Uncle Bruce walks up to one of them and asks them what big happenings are going on in Wallace, Idaho on a Saturday night in late September. The policeman makes some semi-sardonic comment about running around all night for some dedication, like it was the center of the universe or something. We assume he is pulling our leg since how absurd would it be for the dedication to actually be Wallace, Idaho...the center of the Universe? So we head over to the intersection in question, and there it is, a manhole cover proclaiming WALLACE, IDAHO: CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. Wow. So apparently at 9:00 pm there was going to be a dedication of Wallace as the center of the universe. We, of course, show up to the dedication and stand out in this intersection with many...curious/semi-drunk people to see what the deal is. As we're waiting we hear something in the distance...around the corner comes a what? A MARCHING BAND!! And into the intersection they march banging their drums and tooting their horns. (The average age of the members was probably somewhere in the 50's) The mayor was one of the drummers, apparently, and he went up to a podium that had been set up in the center of the intersection (which was also the center of the universe) and made a hilarious speech. He proclaimed that since if something could not be disproven, it must there by default be true...the logical extension of this argument was that since it would be impossible to disprove that Wallace Idaho was the center of the universe, it must therefore be the center of the universe. He also said as mayor that he would appoint a board to deal with any complaints or disputes with respect to this claim. Of course the board members were people like garbage collectors from New York, dead mobsters from Chicago, and somebody I can't remember from Italy...It was the most odd/hilarious event that I have ever been to in my life. After all the speeches were over, and people were mingling around laughing and drinking beer and vodka, Uncle Bruce walked over to the Mayor, and introduced himself, and we all shook hands... - Ben Logsdon (9/25/04) But wait, there's more...Journey to the Centre of the Universe By Michael J Logsdon (The J is for Jules).
